Oral-B has roped in cricketer Rohit Sharma as its new brand ambassador. The brand rolled out a new campaign to welcome him, which was conceptualised by DDB Mudra.
According to the brand, the partnership between Oral-B and Sharma underscores the brand’s commitment to empower individuals to achieve better oral health outcomes.
Gopalakrishnan Kalianna, Vice President & Category Head – Oral Care, P&G India shared, “There exists a common perception about all toothbrushes functioning the same way, leading to consumers being unaware about selecting the right solution. 49%* consumers are currently dissatisfied with the cleaning their brush provides. We recognize the need for innovation and education. Oral B’s Criss Cross technology, priced starting Rs 50, offers consumers a revolutionary choice for achieving better oral hygiene. We are also thrilled to introduce our latest campaign with the ace Indian cricketer – Rohit Sharma, highlighting Oral-B’s ongoing dedication to transforming oral care for every individual and educating them on making the right decision for their oral care. With this breakthrough, we firmly believe that Oral-B Criss Cross will empower consumers to get to healthier smiles.”
Adding on, Gopal, shared his thoughts on associating with Sharma, “Joining forces with Rohit Sharma is an exciting milestone for Oral-B. Renowned as the indisputable ‘Hitman’ of cricket for his powerful sixes on the field, his impact finds its parallel in Oral-B Criss Cross, effectively knocking germs out of the park. As one of India’s most beloved sports icons, Rohit’s dedication to his craft and his pursuit of excellence aligns with Oral-B’s commitment to delivering exceptional oral care solutions that delight our consumers, thus making him the perfect choice for us.”
Expressing his enthusiasm for the partnership, Sharma shared, “Recognizing the pivotal role of oral health in our overall well-being, I’m thrilled to join hands with a legacy brand like Oral-B. Their innovative approach, to integrate tech into Oral-B Criss Cross, not only enhances dental care but brings healthier smiles. With this new campaign, I hope everyone realizes the benefits and prioritises their oral hygiene.”
Rahul Mathew, Chief Creative Officer, DDB Mudra Group said, “Oral-B’s Criss Cross bristles revolutionized the way a brush cleans your mouth. And in Rohit, we have someone who has revolutionized the way India plays cricket. So, we got the hitman to make sure the message hits home -Choose Oral-B Criss Cross for a healthy smile.”
